Obama Supporters Take His Middle Name as Their Own

Emily Nordling has never met a Muslim, at least not to her knowledge. But this spring, Ms. Nordling, a 19-year-old student from Fort Thomas, Ky., gave herself a new middle name on Facebook.com, mimicking her boyfriend and shocking her father.

“Emily Hussein Nordling,” her entry now reads.

With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name.

The result is a group of unlikely-sounding Husseins: Jewish and Catholic, Hispanic and Asian and Italian-American, from Jaime Hussein Alvarez of Washington, D.C., to Kelly Hussein Crowley of Norman, Okla., to Sarah Beth Hussein Frumkin of Chicago.

Jeff Strabone of Brooklyn now signs credit card receipts with his newly assumed middle name, while Dan O’Maley of Washington, D.C., jiggered his e-mail account so his name would appear as “D. Hussein O’Maley.” Alex Enderle made the switch online along with several other Obama volunteers from Columbus, Ohio, and now friends greet him that way in person, too.

Actually, I’m wondering how hard the NYT had to dig to find these idiots. You know the Times believes that this is excellent Obama propaganda. Why else would they run this lame story?

Obama promises them change is coming, the laws will not be enforced and the government will take care of them.

A friend of mine has a bumpersticker that says “Women love me, fish fear me” neither of which were true. Nice to see a fellow fisherwoman.

God Bless Your Son and All our wonderful military men and women. May God protect them, guide them, and poor out His protection, wisdom, and peace upon them. In Jesus Name

This would have suited them better: J. T. “moron” Marcum, left, Aaron “moron” Barclay, Alex “moron” Enderle, Norm “moron” Shoemaker and Chelsey “moron” McCune.

To think those misguided poor souls are probably my peers.

“With her decision, she joined a growing band of supporters of Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who are expressing solidarity with him by informally adopting his middle name.”

More mass hysteria. Glad to see electing the next leader of the free world is taken so seriously.

Fix up the colors, Omega.

About how old are you if you don’t mind me asking?

[wastedyears]

Hey now, don’t knock Captain Morgan.

Just turned 30 this past March.

I really don't have much in common with the vast majority of young people out there.

If you look at my profile, you might think I was born about 50 years late!!!

Oh, from the comment I replied to, it made you sound like you were around my age, 20-25.

My mistake

[Katarina]

LOL This is funny I never realized there was this line in the movie clip you posted.....

" I don't think we'll make it past the cops"

"We'll make it past the cops, I just hope we don't see no Muslims"

(the double negative is the line in the film not mine haha)

So we can’t say it, but the obainites can name themselves after the turd? Talk about cult of personality.

[vpintheak]

That would be “obominites”
